Chapter 297"Harriet!" Molly rushed over and helped her up. "Are you feeling unwell?"The sight of Harriet's vacant eyes made Molly worry.Harriet ignored her question and went back to bed.She turned to look out the window. It was sunny outside, but her mood was cloudy.Delbert had been missing for seven days."Are you worried about Delbert?" Molly cautiously asked.Upon hearing the name, Harriet trembled and started to shed tears."Molly, what should I do? I promised you that I wouldn't lose control of my emotions, but I can't control myself," she said. "I'm so worried about Delbert. He's been missing for seven days, and I feel like my heart has stopped beating!"She weakly curled up in Molly's arms. She had done her best to comfort herself, but as time went by, there was no news coming from Imperium. She couldn't take it any longer.She held Molly tightly and burst into tears.At that moment, she understood Delbert's worry and fear when he saw her in trouble.She was fee
Chapter 298'What? Delbert is dead? How could such a powerful man like him die? He's the president of Carlson Group and a magnet in Meawood City!' Harriet thought.She couldn't believe this news, believing it was fake.Delbert couldn't possibly be dead."Cory, give me your car keys!" she said.Seeing Cory coming over to handle her discharge procedures, Harriet snatched his car keys.She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert.She wouldn't believe the news until she saw him with her own eyes.Cory was stunned by her action. As she hurried out of the hospital, he realized that Harriet must have read the news online.Not only her, but Cory didn't believe it was true either.Delbert was an omnipotent figure. How could anything happen to him?Cory watched Harriet leave and felt a sense of unease."Mr. Delbert, why haven't you appeared yet?" he muttered."Miss me?"Just then, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.It was Delbert's voice, and Cory felt that it was unreal.H
Chapter 299After a moment, tears filled Harriet's eyes.Delbert was in disguise, wearing a black cap. His head was down, making it hard to see his face.Even so, Harriet managed to recognize him at a glance.Delbert looked up, his eyes filled with tenderness.But Harriet blurted out in confusion, "Is it because I missed you so much that I'm hallucinating now?"Delbert's heart softened. He cursed himself inwardly for making Harriet cry and feel so sad.He lowered his gaze, wiped away her tears, and spoke softly. "Alright, silly girl. You look ugly when you cry."But Harriet couldn't snap out of it. She couldn't believe it. She thought she was still in a hallucination. Otherwise, how could Delbert, who had been missing for so long, suddenly appear before her eyes?Instinctively, she reached out her hands and slowly touched Delbert's face.When she felt the real touch in her palms, she couldn't help but smile bitterly."I must miss you so much that even in a hallucination, the
Chapter 300Harriet felt the same discomfort and pain as Delbert, who once feared she would leave him.Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall."I'm sorry. It's my fault!" Delbert apologized, lowering his head.It was his fault for making her worry.He paused and looked up. "Won't you consider giving me a chance to make it up to you?"He leaned closer to her.Harriet instinctively wanted to run away, but her legs couldn't move.While she was spellbound, Delbert took her in his arms and refused to let go."I was wrong, and I will explain to you. Stop crying now. It hurts me when you cry!" he said.But to his surprise, Harriet cried even more bitterly."You jerk, you can coax me. Why do you have to show such a fierce expression?" she snapped, accusing him.The rushing tears put Delbert at a loss. He didn't know what he should do to stop Harriet from crying.In fact, whether it was in his childhood, his past life, or this life, he had never been the kind of person wh
Chapter 301Harriet's sudden confession of love stirred up Delbert's heart.It turned out that she didn't resent him for this matter.And she said that she loved him.Delbert couldn't care about anything else. He tightly held Harriet, his voice full of affection."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept things from you," he said. "But I love you more than you love me."Harriet's last line of defense collapsed.She cried until she laughed and nodded. "I understand your feelings. From now on, we will face everything together!""Okay, I promise you!" Delbert smiled.The pain and self-accusation were gone from his face.He picked up Harriet and happily spun her around.Harriet's laughter brightened up the whole street."Okay, put me down now. I feel a little dizzy." Harriet smiled broadly.Only then did Delbert put her down.Harriet felt a little dizzy, but her face was filled with joy."Let's go home!" Delbert said.He put Harriet in the car and headed straight for the island.A
Chapter 302Delbert rubbed his sleepy eyes and frowned at the sound of Harriet's restrained sobbing. He reached out and took her into his arms."Silly girl, why are you crying again?" he said.Harriet choked and said intermittently, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were injured. I shouldn't have misunderstood you earlier. Does your back hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"Delbert chuckled and rubbed her head. "It's okay, sweetheart. Such light injuries are nothing to me. Don't worry or cry. I'm fine."But his words only served to make Harriet feel more guilty."I'm sorry. I should have trusted you and not been angry with you," she apologized.Delbert knew that Harriet was overthinking again. He gently brushed her nose with his finger."I'm really okay. Well, stop crying. When I went to Imperium, I didn't expect Shawn to suddenly attack me, which caught me off guard and delayed my return. I made you worry."As for the fake news of my death, it was deliberately spread by me t
Chapter 303Delbert didn't know what had happened, but he could sense Harriet's fear from her trembling body.So, he held Harriet tightly."What's wrong? Can you tell me?" he asked patiently."When I woke up just now and didn't see you, I thought everything yesterday was just a dream. But luckily, you're still here!" she said. "Please, never leave me without a word again, okay? I was so scared!"She buried her head deeply in Delbert's chest.Delbert felt a dampness on his chest and noticed Harriet's trembling shoulders.His heart ached, and he quickly patted her back to comfort her."How could I bear to leave you? I promise, I will always be by your side. Whatever happens, we will face it together, okay?" he said.He smiled and muttered to himself, "I will never disappear from your sight again!"Harriet finally felt relieved, but she still held onto Delbert's waist."Alright, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Opal should have prepared it by now," Delbert said, feeling a bit
Chapter 304Harriet was still frowning, but a smile lingered on her face."You wish!" she said, trying to break free from Delbert's restraint.However, before she could escape, Delbert intercepted her halfway.She ended up in his warm embrace and happily giggled."Let's see where you can run this time," said Delbert, tickling her waist."Ah, it's so itchy! Knock it off!" Harriet protested.She tried to claw at him but could not reach him. She looked frustrated."Alright!" Delbert smiled, satisfied with her plea for mercy.However, after being released from his embrace, Harriet didn't want to let Delbert off easily.She quickly pinched his cheeks and grumbled, "A payback for your tickling, you villain!"She forcefully pinched his face.Delbert frowned, but his eyes were full of indulgence.Seeing that she had deformed Delbert's face, Harriet raised an eyebrow and triumphantly smiled.When she had finally vented her frustration, Delbert wrapped his arm around her waist."S
